Jeans
what brand of jeans do yall usually get. Ive tried mutual weave and levies. Both of em rip at the back pocket. Mutual weave lasted 8 monthis levies 17 wears(these were the really expensive ones too). Also tried lee and wrangler with the same issue but i dont remember how long they lasted.
Im tired of stretch denim. My jeans used to last years before they got holes and wear out in the knees. Now its always around the back pockets within a few months. Looking for something in the $50-$120 range.

My last few pairs have been Edwin, and lasted years and years
17 wears is unrealistic, unless you’re doing something extremely rugged or acrobatic. Probably a fit issue rather than the brand’s quality construction
Post pics
avoid jeans that are not 100% cotton at all costs
especially for durability
I’m going to disagree with that one here. Not that I don’t prefer 100 cotton
Just clearly there is more at play
The corners of the back pockets began forming holes after 17 wears. Not massive but noticeable. Its massively upsetting to me. Both pockets have started getting them
These are jeans purchased 2 months ago and not worn for anything other than walking around or sitting in an office
Are they too tight?
They fit loose
I need a belt for em to stay up
I wash them every 5th wear
You should post fit pics
I will when i wake up. Just got off my shift so im in bed.
But to answer your question- for 120 collards, personally I would look for tcb jeans or sugar cane used but new condition
Raw denim guys might recommend unbranded or brave star for that price point but personally I think their construction is spotty and the cuts are not for me
Maybe Uniqlo for a budget option or gap/j crew on sale
Also wonder, if the fit is actually fine- if the particular jeans you had already had some structural issue there, 17 wears is not normal
Thanks. I have liked the mutual weave but only because they are cheap enough to replace every 6 months. And this is an issue ive had with multiple pairs on both pockets. Not just the one i have my wallet in. Ive noticed that stretch denim is worse and wears quicker in pocket corners than non stretch
If it’s multiple pairs is 100% either your fit or your lifestyle sorry no jeans will fix that
Only happens on the stretch tho
Early in to that pair with only 17 wears. Fits really loose
what are you keeping in your back pocket?
does your wallet look like this
Levis makes a lot of different stuff at different quality levels and price points. The cheap stuff is...not good. But Levis that are 100% cotton from the premium line are quite decent, I think, and around $100-150, or better on sale.
Uniqlo is another option. They make some very decent jeans in the $50-100 range.
Red tornado and Bronson mfg make some pretty decent selvedge denim for less than $100
Sauce Zhan, weird name aside, as well
Wallet and caffine pouches just
Wallet is really thin. Same wear on both pockets
That's so weird that it's happening on multiple pairs.
